Abstract

An air bag system for a passenger car, in particular a convertible, with at least one inflatable air bag is disclosed. To increase the protection of the passengers, the air bag is housed in a roof frame of the car enclosing at the top a windshield of the passenger car. When the air bag is actuated, it unfolds in the opposite direction of travel of the car in such a manner that, after it unfolds, the air bag is located above the head of the driver and/or the passenger.
